Poll Position: Same Question, Same Results

POLL TAKEN: October 15-17.SAMPLE SIZE: 500.MARGIN OF ERROR: +/-4.4%, 19 times out of 20.CONDUCTED BY: Ipsos Reid, for Global TV.NOTES: The steady stream of polls continues; so far all we’ve learned is that if you ask people the same questions over and over during the same three days, they’ll give you the same answers. Today’s numbers don’t differ substantially from the lasttwo polls, all showing Ford and Smitherman in a statistical dead heat, with Pantalone a very distant third. (More details on today’s results are available here.) Ford has a small lead among those who are committed to voting on election day (39% to Smitherman’s 33%), but the bottom line is: not much has changed, and we still don’t have any idea how this race is going to end.Get more municipal election coverage from Torontoist here.
